Regarding:

• When the user presses the button and drags his/her finger out of the button's area

I recently have done something similar. Here is my code in Swift.

(In this example you subclassed UIButton, like: class FadingButton: UIButton)

...

// The user tapped the button and then moved the finger around.
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set, with event: UIEvent?) {
    super.touchesMoved(touches, with: event)

    // Get the point to which the finger moved
    if let point: CGPoint = touches.first?.location(in: self) {

        // If the finger was dragged outside of the button...
        if ((point.x < 0 || point.x > bounds.width) ||
            (point.y < 0 || point.y > bounds.height)) {

            // Do whatever you need here
        }
    }
}
...

I hope it helps someone.
